Appreciation of Li Bai's Midnight Wu Ge (Qiu Ge)

Midnight Wu Ge is a famous love song in the South during the Six Dynasties. It is a poem about a girl's passionate and profound memory of her lover's thoughts and feelings, which is very sincere and touching. Li Bai mastered this lyrical feature and successfully described the melancholy that is hard to get rid of when thinking about women in the boudoir. The two sentences "Chang 'an" describe the scenery and create an environmental atmosphere for lyricism. The bright moonlight shines on Chang 'an, and a silvery white world appears. At this time, with the rustling autumn wind, there was the sound of smashing clothes. Playing clothes contains the sincere affection of thinking of women and recruiting people. Autumn Wind is a positive lyric. The homesick woman's endless affection for the autumn wind will not only blow away, but also remind her of her distant husband, which will only increase her sadness. "Endless" is not only an autumn wind, but also a long and lasting emotion. This constant emotion always flies far away, so persistent, so infatuated. The last two sentences express the poet's sympathy for working women by directly expressing his wishes, hoping that her husband will settle in the frontier as soon as possible, return to China to reunite with his relatives and live a peaceful and stable life. This Yuefu poem with a strong folk song flavor is simple and natural, beautiful and euphemistic, and really touching.
